The 1973 Formula One season entered its penultimate round at Mosport Park, Canada, with championship contenders still competing and veteran drivers including triple world champion Jackie Stewart nearing the end of their careers.
On 23 September 1973, Peter Revson started second on the grid and went on to win the 80-lap race in his McLaren M23, with Emerson Fittipaldi finishing second for Team Lotus and Jackie Oliver claiming third in a Shadow. It was Jackie Stewart's 99th and final Formula One race start.
Revson's victory proved to be both his last win and his last podium in Formula One. Jackie Stewart retired from the sport after this race, ending a career that included three World Championship titles. No US-born driver has won a Formula One Grand Prix since this event.
